Hypnotherapy in Hampshire

It is the safe, therapeutic use of hypnosis. By guiding you into a relaxed, focused state where the subconscious is open to positive suggestion, a trained therapist helps you resolve the emotional issues affecting your life and build healthier patterns.

No, on both counts. There is no hypnotised feeling and you are never under anyone's control. You stay awake and aware, in a calm state much like losing yourself in a good book.

Yes, when carried out by trained, qualified therapists like ours. We always talk through any concerns first, and recommend you discuss any underlying medical conditions with your GP before starting.

Yes. Our clinical hypnotherapists hold recognised professional registration, are fully insured and work under regular clinical supervision. Those working with children and young people are DBS checked. If you would like to see a particular therapist's qualifications before booking, just ask.

Look for recognised professional registration, insurance, clinical supervision and real experience with your specific issue rather than a general practitioner of everything. Ask how many sessions they expect and what it will cost before you book. A free consultation, which we offer, lets you judge the fit before spending anything.

You start by talking through what is going on and what you would like to change, so the session is shaped around you. Your hypnotherapist then guides you into a calm, relaxed state, works with you on your goal, and gently brings you back. There is time at the end to talk about how it felt and what comes next.

Most people remember most or all of their session. You stay aware throughout, so it feels more like deep relaxation than anything mysterious.
